Canada provides many routes for international students to stay and work in Canada. Many graduates first obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) before going on to apply for permanent resident status. These are some popular immigration programs for former international students in Canada:

  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Quebec Experience Class (PEQ)
  • Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Provincial Nominee Programs

If you have been studying in Canada as an international student, your province may have a PNP category that makes you eligible for fast-tracked permanent residence status. In addition, some provinces allow international graduates to make an application to their PNP, even if they didn’t study in that province.

  • Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
